You really are amazing!!!!!! You have all the right answers. Your analogy was great. Most times I am the ultimate optimist, but motherhood has emotional overwhelmed me in the most amazing way. Thank you for reassuring my confidence.
I am continuing to be as diligent as possible. You mentioned that you used different products on the scalp,( Hair Oil) I have only seen the almond oil. My son has an extremely dry scalp( "cradle cap" ). I have been shampooing it daily with the Burt's Bees shampoo, but I am not sure what other products may be beneficial. He too, has the dryness behind the ears as you mentioned with your niece.
Thanks for continuing to offer your advice and support. It is so reassuring to know that we have such wonderful people like you, who are so willing to educate others. Take care.
